Chicago, IL–February 23 — Radian Compliance, LLC and Runtime Cyber Defense today announced a strategic partnership designed to provide organizations with the alignment of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) with technical security control operations to meet the security requirements of frameworks, including ISO and NIST. This partnership provides expertise when supporting contractual and regulatory requirements, including CPRA, GDPR, and CMMC, as well as technical cybersecurity control evaluation and third-party risk management. Radian Compliance’s GRC practice maintains a long-standing record of supporting organizations with internal audit, implementation, assessment, and consulting services for management system standards, security, and regulatory frameworks. Runtime Cyber Defense delivers hands-on technical execution and operational security services that transform compliance requirements into real-world, defensible security programs.

“Organizations pursuing adherence to one or more security frameworks frequently encounter a disconnect between governance expectations and technical requirements,” said Sally Smoczynski, CISSP, Managing Partner at Radian Compliance. “By partnering with Runtime Cyber Defense, we are able to extend our proven GRC methodologies into the operational layer, helping clients to meet compliance requirements and then sustain them in practice.”

“Compliance frameworks are only effective when they are backed by strong, continuously managed security operations,” noted Scott Crabb of Runtime Cyber Defense. “This partnership bridges the gap between governance and execution by aligning Radian’s deep GRC expertise with the technical requirements of security and privacy controls.”
